The characteristics of a good yoga teacher
br p one of the questions I have a lot of people who are interested in yoga is to hear: "I would like to know how can I find a good yoga teacher?" And when you are ready, Yoga start asking yourself to do your smart./p after a good teacher is very important for growth and progress in your yoga path. There are many things, along the road changes with physical, energetic and spiritual growth associated happen and sometimes impossible. All of these things a student of Yoga make curious sometimes afraid to bring peace of mind at the decisive moment and the ability to balance and help sometimes prone to a false sense of power (ego); with a teacher who can answer questions and offer a student perspective on demand, is crucial./p because I really think I am one of the best teachers in the Hatha Yoga on the planet, the easiest way, I answer can think to the above question is from the experience the qualities I have seen in my teacher, speak, Shashi Pottatil./p b 1. Biography: / b / p Shashi is a man of 50. Century (also when he pass late 30s), a teacher of Yoga for over 30 years. He hails from Kerala in South India where he of what is considered "Yoga family was known." This means that for generations, other current members, yoga teacher was his immediate ancestors including several of his uncle. In a sense can literally yoga "in his blood"./p he is currently one of the highest certified teachers from the Yoga Alliance, the most renowned Yoga certification organization here in the States. He teaches regularly in churches, synagogues, rest homes, un volunteersd to help work with cancer patients use to control healing power of yoga in his illness. Be Studio in Mira Mesa, CA "Yoga and meditation centre is a flourishing yoga practice that he started a few years ago - no marketing budget." 99% of students are on word of mouth based built, and the remaining 1% of Walk-Ins or yellow pages. (Here is a great clue finding after a teacher - a person to speak the students and see how excited they are education and orientation provided.)/p in addition to his experience and skills in traditional Hatha Yoga, he graduated in science and industry and was an Executive for pharmaceutical companies based in India. From this point the scientific community, he participated in scientific studies on the effects of Yoga on body and immune system. This experience gives him a unique perspective, one based on both traditional Eastern philosophy of Ayurveda and yoga, and science on the basis of Western philosophy "show us proof and we believe."/p; p although it may seem very difficult for a teacher to this unique combination of experience finding background happens and references. And to start Yoga studies, you might not like my teacher qualified./p it is important that any verifiable yoga teacher training or certification, to both the theory and application of knowledge what they teach. Ideally, this person is valid as a teacher. Or your teacher free lessons at the urban center long enough for a good reason or paid money to catch available to visit for each certification program and yoga retreats, they are both valid paths. How she qualify each on natural talentdepend on training, if they are used and how their teachers were qualified./p b 2. Character and motivation /b / p This can be more important than the number 1 above. With the best evidence if the person thinks you are a teacher ", alterior motive than helping people advance bone healing as well as students of Yoga and be light (Yes, I say), it would be a red flag."/p now, I am not saying that yoga teachers from the goodness of their hearts without looking at the creation of a viable business plan and life for yourself learn their training input voltage. What I mean is if their motivation skewed personal gain (financial, sexual or otherwise fail is misplaced) or if they also with a "Dynamic power owned", joined the role as a teacher might be a problem./p How ironic and unhappy as it is, but Yoga is a way to both mental and physical health and well-being, which are inherently vulnerable to "Abuse" or even abuse. We have all heard stories about organizations that appear with the best intentions start and finally accused in the news of cult-like practices./p as much as I want to scare anyone with this discussion, can I just say, take time and do your research. Talk with a few students and in at least a class enter, just to watch (if possible). What are the dynamics between students and teachers? What does your intuition when you consider both competence and character of the teacher or Studio?/p let us to my yoga teacher, model, return Shashi. His Yoga Studio is really "booming" - and this includesfinancially. The case seems this ironically, because how it help focuses on people, not theirs. It is different, that is, what he gives away every day and week, what him to a successful school of yoga./p what I mean by "giving away" he will be all the time subjects (he release, where it can be a need for yoga community teaches) with different civil society organisations for students outside school to help them if she may be exposed. He is a natural "therapist" and talk to him about anything from health to marital problems, crisis in the company or career, or anything else./p he does this because he really believes that people in our time in desperate need of the wisdom of yoga, spiritual and physical levels. His most prominent motivation both in their words and deeds is to "help people." This quality of his character is very clear and I am sure that explains the success of his yoga./p there is no perfect formula, or even "perfect" Yoga teacher, I hope with my teacher as role model, I think a very useful reference if you go to find your yoga teacher. Just do some homework and trust your instinct and enjoy always every moment./p Namaste./p
